Psychosis carried in the gales, for I am surely windblown, windward from my own psyche, where boundaries of reality have eroded. With concealed hands, a nonvisual hallucination caresses the encasement of my soul, provoking verbal responses. Nothingness which wreathes around me, a curve in a state of non-existence meandering...
